    Soldier, soldier, won't you marry me?
    It’s O a fife and a drum.
    How can I marry such a pretty girl
    When I’ve no hat to put on?

    Off to the tailor she did go
    As hard as she could run,
    Brought him back the finest was there,
    Now soldier put it on.

    Soldier, soldier, won't you marry me?
    It’s O a fife and a drum.
    How can I marry such a pretty girl
    When I’ve no coat to put on?

    Off to the tailor she did go
    As hard as she could run,
    Brought him back the finest was there,
    Now soldier put it on.

    Soldier, soldier, won't you marry me?
    It’s O a fife and a drum.
    How can I marry such a pretty girl
    When I’ve no shoes to put on?

    Off to the shoe shop she did go
    As hard as she could run,
    Brought him back the finest was there,
    Now soldier put them on.

    Soldier, soldier, won't you marry me?
    It’s O a fife and a drum.
    How can I marry such a pretty girl
    And a wife and baby at home?
